USDA Inspection Report: 29 Jun 2011

Code: 01B02Violation: 416.13(a), 416.4(a)

Citation: On June 29, 2011 at 0640 after the
establishment's pre-operational inspection and before the start of
operations, I performed procedure 01B02. I observed the following
noncompliance: a dead house fly was found on the surface of giblet
flume by the giblet harvest table. No product was involved. A
regulatory control action was initiated and an U.S. Reject Tag was
applied (# B 24887885) to restrict use of the giblet flume until
corrective action could be performed. Mr. was informed immediately.
The giblet flume was then properly cleaned to restore sanitary
conditions. The Regulation in Section 416.13 (a) state "Each
official establishment shall conduct the pre-operational procedures
in the Sanitation SOP's before the start of operations." The
Regulation in Section 416.4 (a) state "All food-contact surfaces,
including food-contact surfaces of utensils and equipment, must be
cleaned and sanitized as frequently as necessary to prevent the
creation of unsanitary conditions and the adulteration of product."
The Regulations in Section 416.13 (a) and 416.4 (a) have not been
met.

Regulation:

416.13(a) Each official establishment shall conduct the
pre-operational procedures in the Sanitation SOP’s before the start
of operations.

416.4(a) All food-contact surfaces, including food-contact surfaces
of utensils and equipment, must be cleaned and sanitized as
frequently as necessary to prevent the creation of insanitary
conditions and the adulteration of product.
